Pursuant to the 3rd ASEAN Student Leaders Forum (ASLF) 2014 at Universiti Brunei Darussalam, the meeting agreed to continue ASLF as an annual gathering of student leaders of AUN Member Universities and to change the Vice Presidents on Student Affairs’ Meeting to AUN Student Affairs Meeting (AUN-SAM). AUN-SAM will be the support structure for the discussions, agreements, and collaborative projects that will be proposed by the student leaders in the ASLF. It was agreed that ASLF will be organised in parallel with AUN-SAM.
In this regard, Chulalongkorn University and its Student Government Unit in collaboration with the ASEAN University Network (AUN) are pleased to invite you to the 4th ASEAN Student Leaders Forum (ASLF) and the 1st AUN Student Affairs Meeting (AUN-SAM) 2015 to be held in Bangkok on 29-31 October 2015.
For ASLF, the theme for this year is “Paving Our Converging Path : From Me to We” with an emphasis on strengthening ASLF’s existing cooperation. The objectives of the Forum are as follows:
- To establish a common mechanism to be used by ASEAN Affairs Unit across ASEAN region
- To collectively create the framework of the first ASEAN Affairs Unit (AU) initiated by students for societal impacts
For AUN-SAM, the theme is the discussion focusing on how to facilitate and raise funding for activities proposed by Student ASEAN Unit.
The programme of ASLF Forum and AUN-SAM will feature several activities including conferences, workshops, community service, group discussions, panel discussions, and joint discussions between student leaders and the executive level of Student Affairs of AUN Member Universities. It is expected the Forum will provide a platform in which student leaders assemble and interact with their peers in the region and build on models already agreed upon during previous ASLF Forums.
